The Race
|
A collaboration between the artist Michael Pinsky and the composer John
Parr, commissioned by ArtHouse.
The race hijacks unsuspecting shoppers, street cleaners, market sellers
and tourists from the centre of Doncaster. They are pitted against each
other in a huge race around the city. A multi-screen film documenting
this competition is projected in a panoramic format across the length
of Priory Walk. To accompany the film, a composition will follow the race
down the street using brass bands, choirs, a string octet and Zimbabwean
percussionists. the race reflects Doncaster’s prominent role in
equestrian racing and the nature of peoples lives as they swiftly go about
their daily tasks as if vying with unknown rivals.
